Notes

Part of the Geschickt-Gestrickt-KAL
Wanted to do this for ages. The original plan was to use a hand-dyed sockyarn, but then I thought, well, I am more in need of a summer shawl. I first thought about knitting this in the Gomera yarn shown in the picture, but then decided to use the Linea from a frogged project.

We will see how far this gets me, if it is too small, I will add the yellow-sand yarn.

The colours remind me on sandy beaches on the North Sea, hence the name.

Quite like it so far and it works ok - not as fast as I usually knit (not that I would be such a fast knitter), but that might get better in the process.

Update May 30th:
Finished knitting. Used a crocheted cast off with a size 7 mm hook - looks a little loose to me, but we will see. Still need to add the tassels and the pearls - not sure what colours I will use…

Update June 2nd
Finally added the “Gebamsel”, two silvery-white pearls at each and and a blue and a green round pearl and a green tetradric (or so) pear at the point. Really love how it wears! It grew quite a lot in length when wearing, and I like wearing it with a knot in front, as shown on the picture. The tassels splitt in fine threads beautifully (I used an old cheque card to make them).
Really nice - I am already considering making another one, although, normally, I would really have enough triangular shawls!
